I know yesterday (13th March) was the first time a new PSB track had been played in ages, but (as per the long standing forum rules) in future all public requests for copies of any new track, PSB or otherwise, will be deleted and/or threads containing requests closed. We will officially...

Thank you for the link leesmapman. I was already aware of them and found the last one does not include the first song they played (the Blur song Girls and Boys (PSB Remix)). For some reason it has been omitted from the youtube recording hence why I asked if anyone has their own recording.
As followers of pop music, what do you make of this?
Mcdonalds are doing famous artists' orders as a meal item.
K-pop band BTS are the first. The meal is a set of specific menu items (I think the dipping sauce may be exclusive) and with branding over the packaging.

On one of my regular trawls on youtube for new music I came across Eisfabrik, a German future pop/darkwave group fronted by one of the most enigmatic singers I've seen and heard in a long time.

The new single by Tears for Fears is a very good one:
Last post
Greetings,
To my ears, it's a whole lot of production masking the fact that the underlying song is not particularly good. Still, points for that at least... it's more effort than a lot of "legacy acts" go to.
Tears For Fears, one of the other iconic bands from the magical Eighties just released a new single called ‘The Tipping Point’ and I was pleasantly surprised… I feel excited when I listen to this new song and watch the video clip 8) .

I've always had a soft spot for TFF - particular the first three albums which do have some similarities both musically and thematically with PSB.
I always got the impression that Tears for Fears got comfortable in the mid-90's and developed other priorities. They certainly dropped off my radar....

Hi Anajames
Well done for doing this! :D I used to do Taekwondo many years ago and got to blue belt. I am disabled now so, wouldn't be able to go back even if I wanted. I think all women should learn some sort of self defence. :)

Sorry, double posted. I don't know what I did just then. :?
Just a heads up... it appears that the DirrrtyRemixes site, which served as a great source of high-res quality remixes for several years has closed down.
Press F to pay your respects, and keep an eye out for equivalent sites in readiness for future Pet Shop Boys remixes!
Retro. :)

30 years since this incredible album was released. My first ever CD purchase.

Greetings,
It was a great album, and interestingly enough, Getting Away With It was my gateway into New Order, Joy Division and The Smiths, so I guess it has even extra significance for me. It was the key that opened many doors.
Anybody caught up with P Gleadall's twitter rant towards Sven Väth about Väth's DJ-ing in India?

Greetings,
That would seem like it's Sven's business more than it's Pete's. If the laws allow for it, then Sven Väth did nothing wrong.
Yesterday I remembered the band Lorraine, who at one point were a support act for Pet Shop Boys. They were best known at the time for their mid-2000s UK Top 30 hit, "I Feel It". Then they changed their name to Blackroom, released a couple of low key albums and then faded into...

Excellent share! Thanks. I have and love the Blackroom album "Lighthouse". The extended mix of Control is huge. Will check out this more recent stuff.
This is one of the fourth polls called PSB Community - Demographics in order to know a bit more about us. Please, try to answer the four polls (your age, where are you from?, sexual preference and civil status).
Last post
Oh how one would like to be between 10 and 20 again.... on the other hand, middle age is perhaps the best during these pandemic days. Too young to die, too old for yearning to discover the world when it's all in lockdown.

Stumbled across the wikipedia page for Electronic's Tighten Up single. The song had a limited release as a single but the article mentions a weird country.

When I was dreaming about London when I started to follow the PSB, two of the places I wanted to see in person were Tower Records in Piccadilly Circus and Virgin Megastore in Oxford Street that seemed to me two giant music reigns we I would have found all the records I wanted to buy.

29 years after Future Boy, Cicero, the Pet Shop Boys discovery releases a new album
This song in particular I could see Neil singing on it
Last post
That River of Lies track must be a piss-take. It seems to reference at least six Pet Shop Boys song titles in its lyric.
Drico.
PS Yes, I realise I am a little PSB-fixated, but, then, so is Cicero.
I never noticed that, he said there were some Easter eggs in it.
On my Radio shows (White Lion Radio) I have played tracks by a german artist called Mindmodvl, they have just released a fabulous track all about the lockdown, which sounds very much like it could be a Pet Shop Boys track.
Definitely worth a listen:

Not bad though it needs a bit of development as it's a bit sparse sounding déménagement Nîmes . They also need to re-record "elite" to the correct pronunciation. The theme of the song is obviously highly relevant and speaks to my fears about the post-pandemic world.

For an annual lump sum, you can release as much as you want.
You have to pay every year or they drop the songs out. I have 20 and more years of music so I'll release a lot of stuff.

Anyway, the Number 1 is deserved. Last Christmas is one of the best Christmas songs ever written.
First of all, if you have the chance to watch it, I recommend to you this new show. It's called 30 Monedas (30 Coins) and it's planned to be a hit on HBO around the world in 2021. Take a look at the trailer, I think you'll love it.

Two things - One, Greendrake, the title was clear when it said 'influenced', so I don't think it can be argued that you could have had your attention deiberately stolen. Something of an over-reaction.
